The world, is a bitter place. Filled with thievery, lies, tragedy, and even death. Our world does not share compassion, the world does not care, if someone you love just died. But, once in a while, the world will give you hope, caring, and love. The world will grant your wish, if your willing to take it. The world, is here to guide us, not to show us the answer, we forge our own paths. And when the world accepts you, you thank it, for all it has done, and you move on, Just as you always had...

The world accepted one more, once the lead scientist of the underground. Now, can continue being who he always would be, a caring father.

Chara POV

The man at the gray door stood with a thin, old smile. He looked down at us, and said "Hello!" As if there were no boundaries between the him and us.

Sans rushed forward for a hug, he only was tall enough to reach his waist, "Dad..." he sobbed, crying tears of joy, "I knew you would come back for us..."

The man looked down to his son,"As have I Sans, as have I..." He looked up from his son who was crying into the black lab coat. "Ah, it appears we have not formally met," he said moving his hand back and forth over Sans' skull to comfort him. "I am Doctor, W.D. Gaster, and you must be Frisk and... oh! Chara! How nice to see you once more!"

The man called out my name as I wracked my mind trying to find an old face for that name. My mind came up with only the face I was staring blankly at, My memory fogged by my last days alive in the underground, I then came out with it that I did not recognize him.

"Oh, well, how unfortunate, I propose I should start from the beginning then?"

Frisk nodded at my side and they sat down on the ground. I followed, only to realize the ground had changed from its unusual gray color, to waterfall blue. Gaster walked forward with Sans only turning to close the door. Once closed it melded into the blue walls, seeming as if there was never a door there to begin with.

"Well, now I shall begin my story, of me, my sons, and my eventual scattering across the void."

Gaster's Story...

The Underground as you knew it, was a very different place then when you came to it Frisk when you fell. How do I know? Oh, I will get to that later. Anyways, I was lead royal scientist working on the problem with the barrier, the only other way out of the Underground than the hole you fell down.

At the time, I was always working alone, around the barrier conducting studies and tests to the Barrier to see what may be able to pass through such a creation. I only concluded through many years imprisoned there that it would take a human, and a boss monster soul,  the calculations were long, and tiring to go through. Only until human leftovers started to flow through Waterfall did any real progress begin.

Around the time I had concluded the results, I decided to take a vacation to Snowdin. The cool breeze and snow kept the place lively, the town was small at the time still and only had really three or four houses there. I met the inn keeper there, at the time however there was no Inn and she was needing help. Thankfully I knew basic structural skills and I drew up a rough blueprint for her. After helping her, I had a moment of inspiration, I decided that Snowdin would become my Vacation home and I drew up plans for a small two story house, and it was done, my home away from home.

My little adventures in Snowdin was fun, and half the time I had a small lizard monster following me, she was cute, and looked up to me as a role model. One time she followed me all the way back to the King's Castle. On the walk home, she said she wanted to be just like me and create wonderful inventions. Now I am glad she did just that, without her I wouldn't even be here right now, Oh, delving too much into a later topic again, sorry.

Now I had begun working on a new invention, a grand scheme that would lighted up the entire underground. The ultimate power source, The Core. Running off of underground geothermal power, it would generate enough power to last as long as the earth did. Eventually I created small planes to patrol the area, keeping it safe and clear from any signs of trouble or rupture in the system, however soon they seemed to develop their own personalities...

At one point it seemed I gained a little fan club of about three monsters, they almost seemed a little too obsessive about it though...

At this time, The whole underground was buzzing with news of a human, who had fallen into the underground. That would be you Chara. When Asriel found you and took you to the palace, you were cared for and healed of any injuries that you had sustained from the fall. I was the one who helped in the process, due to little knowledge of human anatomy in the Underground.

After about a year, you two had grown close as siblings. It had seemed you lost much memory of the surface, but each day you always seemed to remember more and more.  Your days in your room had increased, and you refused to leave, that is, whenever Asriel was not there for you. He was your shining light, that led you to who you are now, I can safely assume that you never had anybody on the surface to care for you, and Asriel made a role model as a brother.

mhm? Ah so I was correct in my hypothesis.

Alright, now After the two years you had spent in the Underground, you were... 14 by the end of it all right?

Yes yes, that would be correct. And So far you have spent 2 years back on the surface? So you are 16?

Ah! So my memories do not deceive me!

Well, then as I said, at the age of fourteen both you and Asriel both left the Underground to ourselves, and we continued with hope still in our souls. I had another vacation in Snowdin around this time and was quite shocked to hear the news. However I continued on, as we all did, it was all we could do.

Now I had met someone very dear to me, that would be my wife, The most beautiful skeleton in the underground. She was playful, and always full of humor. She was the life of Snowdin, and when I eventually had to leave to the palace once more, She came along and stayed with me and comforted me whenever I was not working. Soon after, I had married her, and retired from Royal Scientist Position. Just very soon after our marriage, Sans, and Papyrus came to us, as our children, Nearly Twins in fact with Sans being a small amount older. A few more years had passed, and Sans was nearly 10...

That is when their mother had fallen...

Sans, was saddened beyond belief and Papyrus, oh, Papyrus... He had gotten into a small accident. Afterwards he hardly remembered the past, and gained a very cheerful attitude, much like his mother.

My time was almost over at this point, while I tinkered with a machine for a hobby, I miscalculated... The event shook the whole region of the Palace and I was pulled in to limbo. A world without existence or life. I became an entity that was only there to exist, and observe.

I watched carefully, soon Sans had kept taking care of Papyrus, and made their way to Snowdin, and my Vacation home. They moved in and now were properly living in Snowdin. Sans had moved the Machine that pulled me into Limbo into a secret shed behind the house, and worked tirelessly on it. Everyday he would continue to get more and more depressed, and I saw that very early on, I saw his determination waver. Soon, he masked this with his puns and nonchalant mood that morphed into his true personality, and became this knucklehead sitting next to me.

One after another Humans continued falling, all 6 humans after Chara had fallen to either the King, or Undyne. I came to observe another region of the Underground at this point and looked to my Predecessor at the lab. It was the Lizard Monster girl! Alphys was her name, and she did a fine job, although endlessly watching human Television shows, she made progress.

And you know the rest, Frisk falls into the underground, they save everyone, and they all get to go free! Except three... The First of the three to be saved by Frisk would be eventually Chara, soon after you left the underground you returned to save your guide that helped you through your journey... The next in turn was Asriel, When you brought him back with the souls, It created something in the void. The culmination of seven human souls, to rescue one more, Me.

And here we are today, sitting out Front the closest entrance to the void, now sealed due to me leaving for good, now nothing truly does exist somewhere, the void, as it should be...
